Just a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sharing my much-loved Easy Vegan Blueberry Muffins Recipe (Gluten Free), and thought it’d be high time to create a gluten free blueberry muffins recipe to join the BB blueberry muffin ranks. Btw, have you tried my Easy Healthy Blueberry Muffins, yet?
That particular vegan blueberry muffins recipe was made with almond flour. And I know quite a few GF folks were asking if they could leave that almond flour out. SO guess what?
I left it all out.

Description
Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins Recipe (Easy!): this GF blueberry muffins recipe yields moist, tender muffins with a delicious, crispy top and fluffy crumb, bursting with blueberries! Vegan, Dairy-Free, Healthy Ingredients.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 ¼ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional, but recommended)
Add-in Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Optional Topping
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add non-dairy milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with with the milk.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: non-dairy milk, lemon juice, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and almond extract. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in blueberries.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin pan—filling each cup all the way to the top for a smaller quantity of bigger muffins, and ¾ of the way for a larger quantity of smaller muffins. Optionally, press blueberries into the muffin tops.
- Bake for 24-32 minutes. Mine took 28 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean, it’s done.
- Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 20 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1-2 hours. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

I haven’t tried these yet but they look really good! I don’t have any almond extract – I see that it’s recommended but optional. How big of a difference does it make if I don’t include it? Does the taste change (sweetness, flavor) etc?
Thanks!

I really feel like the almond extract enhances all the flavors in these muffins, but if you can’t get your hands on any then that’s okay. 🙂 Hope you enjoy them!
Just made these during a work call 😉 They are AMAZING! love your recipes, thank you so much.
★★★★★
Woohoo! Loving those multitasking skills Erica. 😊 So happy you enjoyed them!
These are delicious! I’m so happy to find a gluten free vegan muffin. Gluten and egg allergies in one are hard enough to navigate, and to try and make a fluffy muffin or dessert is hard to achieve. My only pointer would be to use small blueberries. I used giant ones and they of course cooked up and allowed the muffins to get soggy. I would think the smaller blueberries would allow for more batter around them. Still so good!
★★★★★
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe Janet! Yep, sometimes those giant blueberries can be tricky. 😉
I make 3x your other easy blueberry muffins bi-weekly and love them. Besides the addition of almond extract, I notice this one has a little more coconut oil and coconut sugar. Is the added oil going to make a little bit different texture if I make these instead?
Hi Pam! Yes, this recipe will have a little bit of a different texture than the others, as it also only used oat flour and no other flours. Hope you enjoy!
Hi! Can you make this into a loaf/bread? Or only muffins?
Thanks!
Hi! Yes, that should work! Bake at the same temp for about 50-65 minutes in an 8-inch loaf pan, testing for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it’s done. 😉 Happy baking!
These muffins look really ahhmazing! My kids loved them!
★★★★★
Thanks Sandra! So happy this was a winner with the kiddos!
Going to be baking these later today; nothing like blueberry muffins with my morning cup of coffee! These look delicious!
★★★★★
Oh yes! They’re amazing with a cup of coffee!
These muffins are calling my name! Great for breakfast!

Muffins are always a hit with my family! I love that these are gluten-free and would work as a snack, dessert, or for breakfast.
★★★★★
That’s the great thing about muffins–everyone loves ’em! 😉 So true!
These muffins are perfect for anyone who loves blueberries! I can’t believe that they are gluten-free and vegan.

Absolutely! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed them, Jacque! 🙂
What is it about a blueberry muffin? Can’t wait to make a batch.
EVERYTHING. Just everything! 😉 Happy Baking!
Fresh blueberry muffins are right up my alley!
And what a tasty alley that will be! 😉 Heehee!
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to try these!
★★★★★
Thanks Beth! Enjoy!
I’m excited to try this recipe! Can I use frozen blueberries? Thanks!
Hi Bonnie! Yes, you can. Just make sure to gently fold them in (frozen blueberries tend to thaw & run with color everywhere in the batter), and tack on an extra 2 minutes or so to make up for the chilled batter. Enjoy!
These Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins were excellent. I made them for breakfast this morning and next time I will make a double batch to freeze
★★★★★
Sounds like an excellent plan Heidy! They’re soo good for breakfast or an AM snack! 🙂
This muffin is a perfect grab and go snack. They came out perfectly.

Hi Demeter! Hope you’re well!
I don’t have any plant based milk at the moment, can I use water instead?
Every thing you make looks so scrumptious! I have made several of your recipes, and they’re delicious!! Thank you.
Have a great day!!
Hi Ana! Thank you so much. 🙂 I hope you’re well, too! That should be fine–I haven’t done it myself, but it’ll probably be fine in a pinch. Thank you for your sweet words–they’ve truly ensured that I have a great day. Wishing you a fantastic day!! xo
These blueberry muffins are the perfect way to start the day! I can’t wait to have them!
